There are traces of mediaeval granges at Otterwood, Bouvery, and possibly at Sowley.

Bransgore is a village in the new forest of approximately four thousand inhabitants. All age groups are represented with large numbers of families although our elder citizens, with perhaps more time to enjoy their surroundings, seem to be more 'active' in the village. There is a good community spirit with good social and commercial amenities. Like many communities of this size and position away from major facilities there is a slight difficulty in keeping some of our teenagers amused, but hopefully the new sports field complex will go some way to relieving this. Three local pubs, a church, primary school and a convenient row of shops. Post Office, doctors, opticians, vets, there is virtually all you ever need. The various clubs, societies etc use a myriad of meeting halls situated throughout the village. Most are well kept and highly used. There is already a playing field, large enough for four football pitches and a children's playground. This is the location of our very well supported 'Village fun day' event which is held each summer. As mentioned above, we are developing a whole new complex to include faculties for tennis, cricket and a whole host of other sports. Popular destination for New Forest Accommodation, Holidays and Self-Catering.
